Individual trees may live as long as 3000 years, just another reason to call this plant a “living fossil.” with long lasting spirit.

Willow bark medicine became a standard part of the materia medica of Western medicine beginning at least with the Greek physicians. The Roman encyclopedist Celsus, in his De Medicina, suggested willow leaf extract to treat the four signs of inflammation: redness, heat, swelling and pain. Willow treatments also appeared in Dioscorides's De Materia Medica, and Pliny the Elder's Natural History. By the time of Galen, willow bark was commonly used throughout the Roman and Arab worlds.

Willow bark extract became recognized for its specific effects on fever, pain and inflammation in the 18 century. The major turning point for willow bark in medicine came in Britain, 1763, when English chaplain Edward Stone describing the impressive power of willow bark extract to cure ague—an ill-defined constellation of symptoms, including intermittent fever, pain, and fatigue, that primarily referred to malaria. Inspired by the doctrine of signatures to search for a treatment for agues near the brackish waters that were known to cause it. The white willow bark was used to treat malaria in Britain in the 18th century, since the bark was similar to cinchona bark, a South American bark used to treat malaria. In his letter, Stone reported consistent success, describing willow extract's effects as identical to Peruvian bark, though a little less potent. (In fact, the active ingredient of Peruvian bark was quinine, which attacked the infectious cause of malaria, while the active ingredient of willow extract, salicin, relieved the symptoms of malaria but could not cure it.) Stone's letter (mistakenly attributed to Edmund rather than Edward Stone) was printed in Philosophical Transactions, and by the end of the 18th century willow was gaining popularity as an inexpensive substitute for Peruvian bark.

The French pharmacist H Leroux identified white willow’s active chemical compound salicin in 1829. By the nineteenth century pharmacists were experimenting with and prescribing a variety of chemicals related to salicin, the active component of willow extract. In the beginning of 19th century, European chemists extracted the constituent salicin from white willow bark and converted it to salicylic acid. At the end of the 19th century, acetylsalicylic acid was synthetically produced and aspirin was born.

In 1897, scientists at the drug and dye firm Bayer began investigating acetylsalicylic acid as a less-irritating replacement for standard common salicylate medicines, and identified a new way to synthesize it. By 1899, Bayer had dubbed this drug Aspirin and was selling it around the world. The word Aspirin was Bayer's brand name, rather than the generic name of the drug; however, Bayer's rights to the trademark were lost or sold in many countries.

The mechanism of aspirin's analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties was unknown till the early- to mid-twentieth century; widely accepted since the drug was first brought to market, was that aspirin relieved pain by acting on the central nervous system. Harry Collier, a biochemist in 1958 began investigating the relationship between kinins and the effects of aspirin. He found that aspirin worked locally to combat pain and inflammation, rather than on the central nervous system.

Whilst this chemical is a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic, studies show several other components of Willow bark (including polyphenols and flavonoids), have antioxidant, fever reducing, antiseptic and immune boosting properties. Some studies show that this plant is as effective as aspirin for reducing pain and inflammation at much lower doses. It has been shown to relieve headaches and is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects than synthesised pain relievers such as ibuprofen.

White willow is being recalled as nature's aspirin and gaining popularity around the world as an alternative treatment for fevers, inflammatory, bursitis, tendinitis , headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, angina, back pain, osteoarthritis , menstrual cramps, toothache pain and muscle aches.
